Dirty Gold

“If you love me, you have to love all the things about me.”—Dirty Dancing

If you were happy every day of your life, you wouldn’t be a human. You’d be a game show host. ~Winona Ryder 1988

Darkness is my growth,

an empty space of a broken

vase.

A clock with time

stopped, bubble tea frozen,

a skipped kiss that

never happened.

A smashed dollie

struggling with its framework.

Bruised legs of red stains,

losing a part of me

to patterns I can never reach.

Wanting to revive the last

pieces of these memories just

to get a piece of happiness.

While burying everything deep

inside of me.

Rearranging the sad pieces

of this neverending cycle of happiness

to find me.

Just a princess with a

crown to become Queen, trying

to let myself know I'm

not alone.

While the people you love

can't stand where your standing

because they can't relate

to this pain.

Beating you to pulp,

while the guy you like

adds you to his

fucking collection.

While the girl you love won't look in your direction.
